Technogym KINESIS ONE - The Cable of Weight Stack is Not in Tension

KINESIS ONE: Service & Maintenance Manual rev. 2.1

7.2. THE CABLE OF WEIGHT STACK IS NOT IN TENSION
This problem has been the lengthening of the weights stack cable, especially in the first period of
use. To resolve this problem is necessary to act on the cable regulating tension system.
If the cable is new, before adjusting its tension, it is necessary to do a few reps at
maximum load to “stretch” the cable itself.
Figure 7.2-1
Carry out the operations described in
paragraphs: 6.1. “Rear panel disassembly”.
Set the minimum weight: the only selected weight
will be the cross.
1. Loosen the central screw (a) using a 17mm
wrench, locking the nut on the opposite side
with another 17mm wrench.
2. Adjust the cable tension acting on the nut
(b), using a 17mm wrench: screw to increase
or back off to loosen the tension.
The cable tension is correct if:
• The cable is tensioned and the cross rise
up even when you slightly pull the cable;
• At thee beginning of the exercise you do
not feel any "empty" to tension the cable;
• The cross correctly lay down on the other
weight stack plates;
• It is possible to select all plates with the
pin, without interference.
3. Lock the screw (a) again to fix the pulley
using a torque wrench set for 44 Nm.
Check the tension of the cable by carrying out a couple of repetitions with the minimum
weight, and then slowly resting the cross on the weight stack. The cross must rest firmly
on the weight stack, and the cable must be slightly taut.
